* Bang *
Oliver carried a cup of hot water to the bedside and placed it on the table. He sat on the chair and looked at Barry Allen who was covered in bandages and had a dull look in his eyes. He didn't know what to say in this situation.
"You guys used me as bait?"
Barry raised his hands. Traces of blood could be seen on his bandaged hands. He said painfully, "I treated you as a friend, Oliver. When you guys needed me, I was willing to risk my life to help you guys … but you guys used me as bait!"
* Bang *
His bleeding hands smashed onto the ice-cold hospital bed. His bloodshot eyes stared at Oliver, who was sitting there, and he roared as if he was venting his anger.
"This is your friendship? Bullshit! It's all bullshit! "
"Calm down, Barry."
Oliver didn't want to explain anything in the face of this kind of accusation. He was a person who looked cold on the surface but had a soft heart. He wouldn't take the initiative to explain. He wouldn't tell Barry that Saber's original plan was to kill him and Reverse Lightning together. He also wouldn't tell this angry young man in front of him that he followed Saber to the Central City because he was worried about Barry's safety.
Although there were some flaws in his private life, to be honest, the Green Arrow Oliver Quinn was a friend who could make people feel at ease. The premise was that you didn't have a beautiful girlfriend.
He would only use the simplest way to explain everything. He stared into Barry's eyes:
"A smart person like you can always see a lot of things clearly. But now, you can't see them. Your rich personal feelings have blinded your instincts. You asked Saber why you came with good intentions but ended up in this situation … The answer is very simple. We don't want your kindness to everyone, Barry. We want a comrade that we can feel at ease with."
"Only children will say like and hate. Adults only look at the results, not the process."
He stood up and tidied his clothes: "You have strength but you don't have the will to match it. I'm very sorry about this. But I want you to know that Reverse Lightning … he's never far away from you."
At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open. After hearing the news of Barry being hospitalized, he hurriedly rushed over from the police station. Oliver nodded coldly at Joe before pushing the door open and walking out.
Joe sat on a chair and looked at his adopted son with some heartache. He sighed and said in a low voice, "Don't worry.
"You're always so reckless. I know you care about the victims, but the explosion zone hasn't stabilized yet. You're always like this, putting your own safety aside for others."
Barry forced a smile on his face. Joe's long-winded words made him feel a little warm. Not everyone had given up on him. At least he still had his family.
However, he felt his empty body. The consequence of being affected by the explosion of the Energy Absorption Array was that the unstable power of Lightning Speed in his body had been sucked dry. In other words, he was now an ordinary person again. A few hours ago, he was still running through the city like a ray of light. Now, he suddenly had to use slow steps to measure the city. This feeling naturally made him feel very uncomfortable.
For Barry Allen, who had already experienced using his speed to help others, to have his speed suddenly taken away at this moment was simply like a bolt from the blue. However, he couldn't shout out in depression in front of Joe, which made his mood unable to recover no matter how hard he tried.
"Oh right, Joe. I saw your message on the table this morning."
Barry suddenly remembered something. He leaned on the hospital bed and looked at his adopted father. He asked softly: "What's so important about it?"
At the mention of this matter, Sheriff West's expression turned solemn. He took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and placed it on Barry's lap as he said in a low voice, "Let's go.
He whispered: "Aren't you curious about what I did the night before?"
A strange light flashed in Sheriff West's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He coughed lightly and said: "I went to Star City. At first, I only had a little suspicion. Unfortunately, I found something that will make you very sad."
He didn't continue after that. Barry picked up the document on his lap and opened it. The moment he flipped through it, the expression on his bruised face turned weird.
There were two test reports. One came from the laboratory under Quinn Industries, and the other came from the Gotham Police Station. Obviously, Joe didn't just believe the conclusion of others. He also did a test himself. Although the process and method of the two were different, the results were the same.
Barry himself was a forensic expert. He could see the value of the two test reports at a glance. It was irrefutable. However, the problem was the conclusion.
"The item sent for test belongs to Mr. Harrison Wells. Cause of death unknown. Time of death is between 13 to 15 years ago."
There was a photo of Dr. Harrison at the bottom. This photo was found in the Star City Police Station. It was a photo of the doctor ten years ago.
The comparison of the two dates was so funny. A person who was judged to have died at least 13 years ago was still able to take a photo ten years ago.
"Crash!"
The documents in Barry's hand scattered on the ground. His bad mood was like being hit by a heavy hammer. At this moment, the depression and vexation in his heart made him flustered. He raised his head and stiffened his neck as he looked at his adoptive father and asked in a trembling voice, "What's the matter?"
"Joe, you're … you're joking, right?"
"I also hope that I'm joking, but …"
Sheriff West's face showed a trace of sadness: "I also don't want to hear that the person my son admires the most is an imposter bastard. I also don't want to see you suffer after being deceived, but it's true! Barry, if there really is a God in this world, it must be him who drove me to Star City that night. "
"That piece of weathered bone belongs to the upper jaw of the skull. You're a forensic expert. You know better than me what that means."
Joe let out a long sigh. Barry muttered to himself: "That means that it's a bone that can't be replaced. That means that the real Dr. Harrison died a long time ago … If Harrison isn't Harrison, then who is he? What's with the S.T.A.R Laboratory? What's with the particle accelerator explosion? What's with all this?! "
He hugged his head and said in pain:
"Lies, lies … God, I've been living in a lie my whole life. God!"
At this moment, the words that Oliver said before he left flashed across his mind …
"Your enemy, Reverse Lightning, was never far from you. You could've discovered all this, but unfortunately, your excessive personal feelings blinded you."
"So this is something I should've discovered long ago?"
Barry's eyes lost their luster. He could feel a fishy sweetness surging up from his throat. He tried to clench his teeth and endure it. However, the will of complete sorrow in his heart and the series of blows that came one after another made him dizzy. In the end, he spat out a mouthful of warm blood from his mouth. His body softly fell onto the bed.
"Barry! God! Son! Son! What's wrong with you? Doctor! Come quickly! "
Sheriff West's anxious shouts made the entire floor of the hospital bustle. In the midst of the bustle, out of instinct as a sheriff, he collected all the materials in one piece. Now that they had confirmed that Harrison was an impostor, the problem was simple.
Protect my son, and then kill that bastard!
"Isn't it too cruel for you to treat him like this?"
Pietro put down the binoculars in his hand and turned to look at his sister. She was holding her phone and studying The Devil Gang's internal magic knowledge.
He whispered, "Look, that kid is vomiting blood."
Interrupted, Walter was forced out of the mysterious world of magic. She waved her hand nonchalantly.
"You only see how pitiful he is, but you don't see how hateful he is. The first time we met, I couldn't eat for three days because of him. And you don't even know that he's an idiot. I could tell that Harrison wasn't normal at first glance. He's been with Harrison for almost two months, but he didn't notice it at all. The worst thing is that he listens to everything Harrison says."
Walter shook her head.
"He's even more childish than you were in the past. He can't defeat the cunning Harrison at all. Losing his power like this is a good thing for him. His mentality is too immature. If this continues, he'll only be killed by those bad guys."
"Like what Father told us before, we must let our hearts be cold enough before we do something big. Is that what you mean? "
Asked Pietro. Walter closed the book. She looked worriedly at her laughing, heartless brother and asked, "What do you think?"
"Aren't you worried at all? Saber said that if you don't get chosen by that goddamn speed, you'll probably die in that contact. If you ask me, you should just reject Saber. People like him can always find other ways. "
She patted her brother's shoulder as she spoke. "Father is gone. I don't want to see my only family member die in a goddamn experiment."
"Don't be afraid, Walter."
Pietro turned to look at his sister. He patted his chest and said firmly, "I'm confident.
"I'm confident. I've seen a real speeder today. If I have any other wish in life, I think this is it. I can run like light, faster than light, Walter! Only then can I have the power to fight back against Father's murderer. "
After saying that, he lowered his voice even more. He looked left and right and whispered to his sister, "Sister,
"And you saw it too. Saber can't deal with that power. If I can be that fast, I can … kill him!"
"Shut up!"
Walter was shocked. She instinctively grabbed her brother's shoulder. A layer of crimson energy quickly enveloped the two of them. She looked at her brother sternly and yelled, "Brother, I'm not going to let you go!"
"Do you want to die? What is this place? When will you stop being so reckless?! "
Pietro's expression froze. As twins, they had a special connection. He couldn't help but take a step back. He looked at his sister in disbelief.
"You've given up, haven't you? You've given up on avenging Father? How can you do this?! We had an agreement back then! You've been tricked by Saber! You've betrayed our promise! "
"We agreed to wait until the Mutant Nation is established!"
Walter interrupted her brother forcefully. She looked at her brother sternly and said in a low voice, "Remember this, Pietro. I don't care who gave you this suggestion, and I don't care if you think this way yourself! The Mutant Nation that Father dreamed of is on the right track! I saw it with my own eyes … "
"Now, other than Saber, no one can shoulder this burden. So, if anyone dares to stand in the way of this great dream, I will not hesitate to beat them down!"
The fire in Walter's crimson eyes made Pietro take a step back. Then he heard his sister's cold voice.
"Even if it's you! Don't make me lock you up, Pietro! Saber can die, but not now! Do you remember?! Answer me! "
"I … I remember."
